Copy and paste this worksheet as a separate page linked to the Homepage of your portfolio. DO NOT type your answers on THIS document because it needs to be used by other students. The title of your page which replies to these questions is linked to your portfolio and should begin with the first initials of your first and last name.

You may earn a maximum of 3 points toward your final grade by doing the above and answering the questions and submitting them ontime (no later than Friday, November 10). Any worksheets submitted after the deadline will get a 0. You will be rewarded a maximum of 3 points if I judge your work to be above average. You will receive 2 points if your work is average, that is it may have a few minor mistakes in some of the answers but demonstrates correct grammar and indicates that some, but not all, of the answers, are acceptable and well expressed. You will earn only 1 point if you simply answered the questions and/or if you use poor grammar and if there are signs that you have not read the material on which your answers are based.
Reflect on the following questions and answer them in some detail.
1. Which of the possible venues do you think would best suit this play? Why do you believe the dramatic action would be best served in this venue?
A medium stage with a close audience seating would be appropriate for this play. I think as long there is enough space to design a set and the audience has a chance to be close and not "escape" that'll be perfect.
2. What are some of the design challenges posed by the play?
I think that fact that some of the play takes place in the past, may cause somewhat of a problem. I definitely the stage needs to be large enough so that if need be it can be broken into different settings to appease both the present and past. If this play was to be produced the space will definitly have to be taken into into consideration.
3. Choose the various chorus characters and discuss how you see them dressed. In what ways do you think the costumes you describe would help articulate their purpose in this play?
Considering the fact that the chorus is actually the remainder family members I can distinctively see each of them dressed a certain way. The way a character dresses is another representation of who they really are. I think the aunt to should be dressed as if she is snooty. I can picture the grandmother being covered from head to toe often times with her head down if there is a male near. The mother is somewhat modern, so I can see her in slacks and a blouse. the grandfather in pants over his gut with glasses hanging on down the bridge of his nose.
4. Provide some ideas about the use of light in the play?
I think most o the tie lighting should be moderate. Normal lighting is fine. But with any flashback i think a single light placed on the actors and the surrounding area be pitch black.I think that setting can signify how important that moment is for Li'l Bit.
